Users of Pinterest can save and share pins. These can come from varying sources of the boards like birthday parties, book writing, holidays, interior decoration, and vacation planning. You can create projects by utilizing boards. You can also do event coordination while saving data and images. Created by Ben Silbermann, Evan Sharp, and Paul Sciarra, Pinterest is funded by a small investor group, which includes entrepreneurs. This is run by Cold Brew Labs.
